"Sugar like frost" on some fan leaves.. What is causing this?! Please help...

so i went to check on my outdoor plant and i found about maybe only 10% of various leaves around it have this white like sugar looking frost on them. Is this a major problem?! what has caused this? anything helps, i want to catch it now and treat it early if i can.

P.S. - i dont have pics because i dont have a camera at the moment.

any help please?! cmon guys!! 87 reviews and no reply?!

Powdery mildew possibly, no pics no dice, look it up, there are many treatments.

Pull the leaves off, there are some treatments. Could be a major problem if left unchecked. If you deal with it now you should be ok although 10% of the leaves is a hell of a lot.

And yes, it's likely powdery mildew, unless you've been spraying your plants with something or it's resin (but you can easily tell if it's resin).

If it's mites and it looks like PM then they are obvious and all over the plant.

Try to improve your airflow.

Does it wipe off? Could be PM or maybe mites.

what is PM? and i just started LSTing about 3 days ago so i dont think its mildew. btw i have been spraying Safer brand Safe Soap Insect Killing Soap. Would this kill spider mites if i have them? would this soap be doing anything to cause this problem? here is the safe soap i use

btw here is what it looks like on my plant. what do i buy to fix this issue?

Definitely powdery mildew
